Why do so many mobile versions of sites run worse on phone than desktop versions?

I swear every mobile site is absolute garbage that runs like ass on phones.
You're viewing a single thread.
At least some of it is shitty companies either neglecting to optimize or even outright sabotaging their own sites to try and force you to install their data harvesting app so they can sell more of your data for profit.
The rest is just lazy devs not optimizing because they're lazy and/or underpaid and overworked.
And the data harvesting app is nothing more than a stripped-down browser with the company's color scheme slapped on it.
Or a junior dev implemented it and somehow it passed code review. Then when it was tested by the dev on localhost, it ran great. Then when (if) it hit qa, it was ran on local servers and worked fine.
A lot of things slip through the cracks. That’s what hot fixes and patches are for. It happens.
Bold of you to assume they even use QA
lol I did say if. Some of us still have QA!
Only web dev at my company and a fresh college graduate.
It me.
Seriously, fuck Instagram and Pinterest so much. I have those sites blocked from my searches permanently for just this reason.
